Hearing Health Journeys

Carol has counted on Hearing Aid Source for a number of years. She noticed her hearing loss “when I was teaching many years ago and could not hear the students at the back, and meetings were exhausting.”

Recalling her first appointment with Hearing Aid Source, she says the team was “friendly” and “tried hard to make it all work well for me.”

Overall, Carol is happy with the care she’s received and says her hearing aids have “improved communication” most of the time. She admits she’s been struggling a bit lately, “but we are working on it.” She appreciates how “they fix and work at it until I am satisfied.”

Rating Hearing Aid Source a 10/10, she encourages others, saying, “Go make an appointment.”

When Derrick noticed he had a hearing loss, his initial reaction was that it was “not a big deal” and he figured “I’ll do something about it one day.”

When he decided the time was right, he opted to visit Hearing Aid Source without any concerns, as he had visited them previously. He explains, “I used HAS to clear the wax out of my ears prior to chemotherapy and the service was excellent.”

Once again, Derrick was impressed with the team’s “very professional” and “caring” attitude. He adds, “Diana, my technician, is terrific – very helpful and positive, and available to help anytime.”

Derrick is happy he decided to get his hearing loss treated. “I realized how much I wasn’t hearing before I got the aids,” he says, referring to his new hearing aids.

Rating Hearing Aid Source a 10/10, he encourages others, “Definitely go to HAS – they are excellent, and the staff are wonderful.”

Norman realized he had a hearing loss when he found himself “unable to hear the TV.” Despite missing out on his favourite TV shows, he “did not want to wear hearing aids.”

However, he soon found himself making an appointment at Hearing Aid Source. He says the team was “very friendly and helpful.” Norman’s comprehensive hearing assessment confirmed that he did have a hearing loss, and hearing aids were prescribed for him.

Despite his initial wariness, Norman is happy with his hearing aids, saying he is “able to hear better.”

He rates Hearing Aid Source a 10/10 and encourages others to make an appointment. “They are good people to work with,” he says. “There is no harm in having your hearing checked. Very nice and helpful people.”

John says that early discussions with his family doctor resulted in him making an appointment with a specialist for a hearing test. He didn’t have any concerns about making an appointment at Hearing Aid Source, as it was “suggested by my son, a former client.”

During his appointment, John was impressed with the “very professional, personable, and friendly” team. His new hearing aids are a great success and “proved that I needed them.” He says they have “made conversation and music very enjoyable.”

John adds that he likes how someone at Hearing Aid Source is “always available with a prompt resolution” when he needs “very quick access for help with problems” or to “repair problems.”

Rating the clinic a 10/10, he concludes, “I certainly would recommend the clinic.”

Although he was already a hearing aid wearer, Herbert says he was “unable to hear clearly, making two-way communication difficult, especially under stressful situations.”

Hoping for some improvement in his hearing, Herbert decided to give Hearing Aid Source a try. He shares he didn’t have any concerns prior to his appointment “because a friend highly recommended Edmond’s professional advice and service. Also, I have been wearing hearing aids and have seen a few other hearing aid services before.”

Herbert was “very much impressed by Edmond’s advice.” He explains, “His professionalism is in sharp contrast with the other hearing aid consultants, which helped me to seek his service right after my first visit.”

With his hearing freshly tested and new hearing aids intact, Herbert has experienced “a lot of improvement in almost every aspect, making life much enjoyable, and it widens family and social contacts.” He considers the Hearing Aid Source team to be “friendly professionals willing to offer extra help to serve the public and clients.”

Rating the clinic a 9/10, Herbert hopes others will make an appointment. “I’ve been recommending Edmond to friends who need advice,” he says.

Francine’s hearing loss became evident at work “while being in an office environment and taking minutes at a meeting and realizing that I missed a great deal of important items.”

Not wanting to miss out on any crucial information again, she made an appointment at Hearing Aid Source. Francine was a bit anxious about her upcoming appointment but “only because we live one hour away and not being able to get the service I required.”

Any worries were put to rest once Francine arrived at the clinic in Coxwell. She describes her appointment with Edmond and his staff as “fantastic” and says, “The testing was thorough and super informative.”

Francine’s new hearing aids have improved her life “a great deal.” She shares she’s “not missing conversations in a group setting” anymore.

Rating Hearing Aid Source a 10/10, she encourages others, “Don’t wait. Make your appointment now. I’m so glad I made the trip to Toronto.”

Louis first noticed his hearing loss sixty years ago. He loves visiting Hearing Aid Source and describes the team as “polite, helpful, professional.”

He adds that “the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and owners” is a highlight for him when he visits.

And as for his hearing aids? “They have helped me tremendously,” he shares.

Rating the clinic a 10/10, Louis says, “I would recommend Hearing Aid Source and have already done so.”

Due to Meniere’s disease, Richard’s hearing had deteriorated to the point where he needed cochlear implants in order to thrive in a world of sound.

He says, “Receiving my Meniere’s diagnosis was the most devastating news I had ever received. The prospect of losing my hearing and that nothing could be done left me feeling lost and not knowing where to turn.

“Once I received my diagnosis, I began to research options and hearing instruments was a temporary solution. I looked carefully at service providers before selecting Hearing Aid Source.”

Recalling his initial impression of the team, he says, “In a word, welcoming. No pressure, genuine concern and willingness to do whatever it took to get the best solution for me. I consider them and the company more than a company or healthcare provider that are part of my extended family.”

Both hearing aids and Richard’s cochlear implants have meant that he can continue to live the life he loves. “Prior to implant surgery, hearing aids made it possible to continue functioning in the world of hearing,” he shares. “Post implant surgery, it has augmented my hearing, making closer to what I remember hearing was like.”

Rating Hearing Aid Source a 10/10, he reassures prospective patients, saying, “You are in capable, caring hands. No hesitation in recommending the company or any of the clinicians.”

When Ulli was looking for a hearing health provider she could trust, thankfully her friend suggested Hearing Aid Source.

Ulli says, “I had received a used hearing aid which needed to be tested and adjusted to my needs. I am happy I followed my friend’s glowing recommendation of Edmond at Hearing Aid Source. I was looking for a kind, thorough and unrushed hearing specialist who has patience with seniors like me, getting my first hearing aid.”

Programming the hearing aid to Ulli’s unique requirements, as well as getting used to her new device, was a smooth, stress-free process. She recalls, “Edmond did it all and was able to transfer the existing manufacturer’s warranty to me, the new owner. He patiently introduced me in stages to the use and care of the new-to-me device. I never felt overwhelmed.”

Delighted with her experience at Hearing Aid Source and Edmond, Ulli says, “I am more than satisfied and delighted to recommend him.” She also was impressed with “the beautifully landscaped garden you pass on the way to the front door,” calling it “a bonus” each time she visits.

Janet had the pleasure of meeting Edmond this morning, and “I must say, his insights were truly eye-opening.” Edmond’s explanation of how people display body language when they’re struggling with hearing loss, the fears they may be secretly harboring, and the incredible transformation that occurs when they finally try hearing aids was nothing short of enlightening. Thanks to Edmond, “I found the courage to take that crucial step towards regaining my hearing, and the results have been life-changing.”

Abigail knew her ears needed cleaning, but a previous experience with earwax removal prevented her from seeking help.

She explains, “I’ve had a bad and painful experience with getting my ears cleaned in the past and it made me procrastinate getting it done for years.”

Fortunately, her visit to Hearing Aid Source put Abigail at ease. She says she “could not have asked for a better experience here!” Recalling her appointment, Abigail adds, “Memori was so gentle and talked me through the entire process.”

With her ears wax-free and her hearing improved, Abigail says she would “100% recommend” Hearing Aid Source to others. “They’ll treat you like family there!” she concludes.

When your ears are blocked with earwax, muffled hearing is no fun and you want relief fast.

Emmanuel knows this all too well.

He says he “had trouble hearing due to earwax buildup” and was thrilled when Hearing Aid Source was “able to get me an appointment the next day.”

Emmanual notes, “They were super gentle with the removal and educational with the tools. Staff is very friendly. Memori did a great job.”

He considers Hearing Aid Source “life savers” and highly recommends them to others. But as for his own hearing care, Emmanual adds, “They will definitely…HEAR from me again!”

For some of our patients, nothing can stand in the way of their quest for better hearing. This includes a three-hour drive just to see Edmond at Hearing Aid Source!

Harold’s hearing loss was making it difficult for him to follow conversations. It was a daily battle, one that was frustrating and exhausting.

After hearing amazing things about Hearing Aid Source, Harold decided to make an appointment, even if the round trip was nearly a full workday.

During his comprehensive hearing assessment, Harold had an in-depth conversation with Edmond about his hearing issues. They discussed Harold’s family health history, his lifestyle to determine how the outside world might be impacting his hearing, and his ongoing challenges and concerns.

Next, Harold took not one but several hearing tests to give Edmond a complete picture of his hearing ability. After reviewing the results, Edmond was able to determine exactly where Harold’s hearing could use a boost. Harold was then fitted with prescription hearing aids tailored to his unique circumstances.

Thrilled with the results, Harold says, “My hearing aid setup is fantastic! Edmond considered every detail (i.e., problems) I described and magically made them non-issues now.”

With his new devices, navigating everyday life is much easier for Harold. In fact, he is now finding himself helping others when they miss out on words.

Harold shares, “Yesterday, I had a lunch meeting on a full patio cafe overlooking busy street traffic, and I heard every word, whereas the other two with me periodically asked ME to repeat things!” He adds with a chuckle, “Based on my past (years of) experience in their shoes, I managed to be very tolerant and politely repeated what I had said.”

Harold highly recommends Edmond and Hearing Aid Source as the destination to anyone who is eager to begin their better hearing journey.

As a secondary school teacher, I was worried my students would notice I wasn’t “perfect,” as teachers are supposed to be. Fortunately, I had no concerns about contacting Hearing Aid Source because one of the owners was a friendly parent of one of my students.

My first impressions of the clinic were very positive; everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the office was exceptionally clean. Hearing aids have significantly impacted my life. I can now hear the radio, TV, telephone calls, and participate in small group conversations. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to hear at all, so they’ve given immense meaning to my everyday life and relationships. For anyone concerned about their hearing, I would recommend having a hearing test, listening to the ensuing recommendations, considering the costs, and trying the hearing aids out.

I first realized I had a hearing challenge when I couldn’t hear and understand my teammates and often had to ask them to repeat their comments. Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, my main concern was simply not knowing what was wrong with me. My first impressions of the clinic were of professionalism and a genuine willingness to help. Hearing aids have significantly impacted my life. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would say you are in good hands with Hearing Aid Source. They always follow up and make sure you feel you are always in their care.

When I could not hear and understand what people were saying, I felt embarrassed and alienated. I thought I had to do something about it and contacted Hearing Aid Source. If you are concerned about your hearing and considering visiting, I would say, “Go for it.” It definitely will improve your quality of life.

I can vividly remember the moment I first realized something was up with my ears; I felt embarrassed. I contacted Hearing Aid Source looking for a second opinion since I wasn’t receiving good service from the firm where I originally purchased my hearing aids.

My first impression of Hearing Aid Source was excellent—they were very professional, empathetic, and helpful. Edmund, in particular, took his time to understand my challenges and needs. He adjusted both the equipment and settings, educated me, and significantly improved my hearing! Due to these adjustments, my overall experience with my hearing aids has been positive; I can hear much better and am more engaged. However, it’s important to note that hearing aids are a tool, not a cure, and learning to live with them is an evolving journey.

To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would highly recommend going to Hearing Aid Source for professional and caring service. Avoid the deals, gimmicks, institutionalized providers, and big box stores!

The moment I first realized something was up with my ears was when my husband told me for the umpteenth time that I had the TV volume turned too loud. Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, I had hearing aids from another clinic that I hated and wasn’t sure if I could be helped.

My first impression of Hearing Aid Source was very positive; I was very impressed with how helpful Emond was within minutes of me being there. I knew I had found the help I needed.

While at first, wearing hearing aids made me feel very old—eventually, it became a positive experience. I was grateful and no longer felt the need to pretend to hear something or someone, which boosted my self-confidence. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would say that you will be in good hands with Emond and his associates. They will work tirelessly to help you on your hearing journey.

I realized I had a hearing challenge when I was meeting with a group of clients and had trouble hearing what was being said, while everyone else appeared to have no difficulty.

I contacted Hearing Aid Source, hoping for an easy solution. My first impressions of the clinic were very positive—the team was easy-going and welcoming, and I didn’t feel like just another number, which had been my experience when I tried to make an appointment with a national competitor.

Since getting hearing aids, my hearing difficulties are a thing of the past. I believe that hearing aids do not necessarily equate to old age, and I can’t understand why anyone would hesitate to get help. My advice to anyone concerned about their hearing is to get tested. I have referred several acquaintances to Hearing Aid Source Clinic over the years.

I cannot remember the early days when I first realized I had a hearing challenge, but it was clear that I needed assistance. My main concern before contacting Hearing Aid Source was managing the hearing aids and how others might perceive my need for them. As it turned out, both friends and strangers were all supportive.

Hearing aids have helped me navigate everyday situations and taught me to share my hearing problems with others. This openness has not only benefited me but also helped people who didn’t know me well to better understand my situation.

If you’re concerned about your hearing and considering visiting Hearing Aid Source, I would say share your concerns with the staff and maybe even talk to other patients in the same situation.

When it became difficult to hear telephone conversations clearly, and I noticed people looking at me as if I was daft I realized I might have a hearing problem. My hearing loss had been so gradual that it went largely unnoticed until then. Having been hearing impaired for a very long time, I went to Hearing Aid Source several months ago to see if an old hearing aid could be repaired. The service was efficient and timely, and I was pleased with the very positive outcome—the hearing aid was successfully repaired.

I received my very first hearing aid around 40 years ago, and I still clearly remember returning home and being astonished by the simple sound of water dripping into a coffee cup while making drip coffee. Hearing aids have had a significant impact on my life, allowing me to notice such everyday sounds that I would otherwise miss.

If you are concerned about your hearing and considering visiting Hearing Aid Source, my advice is simple: just do it. It costs nothing to find out.

I didn’t initially realize I had a hearing challenge—I thought everyone else had started mumbling. It got to the point where what I heard wasn’t even close to what people were saying, and I was answering the wrong questions, which made me look foolish. I had to constantly ask people to repeat themselves. The first place I went to provided hearing aids that amplified everything, including background noises, which just made things harder. When I complained, they told me nothing could be done to fix that. Then I found Hearing Aid Source. Edmond made some adjustments, and we went out into the street where he stood behind me and spoke in a normal voice—I had no problem hearing and understanding him. Anytime I have a problem, he has always been able to fix it and make my life better. Even though I’m retired now, being able to hear is still very important. I was also informed by a woman I know well that wearing hearing aids can help prevent losing your balance and falling, which is crucial as a senior.

The other company dismissed my concerns, but the Hearing Aid Source spent time finding and fixing the issue. Before I knew them, I was desperate and willing to try anything, and I was very pleased with them. They were willing to work on the problems I had until they were able to fix them. I don’t remember how I got their name, but I’m definitely glad I did—even though I come all the way from Brampton, it’s always worth it.

Hearing aids have impacted my life significantly—they’ve always been there to fix any problems, making it easier for me to exist in society. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit to Hearing Aid Source, I’d say, “GO FOR IT—they will do whatever it takes to get your problem resolved.”

I first realized I had a hearing challenge many years ago. Being a musician, I felt it was an occupational hazard that I would sustain some hearing loss, so I wasn’t too concerned but began wearing ear protection when teaching and playing gigs. My biggest concern before contacting Hearing Aid Source was that my hearing loss had increased. I don’t have the results of my hearing test from years ago to compare to now, but it seems obvious that my hearing loss has increased. When I first visited Hearing Aid Source, I found everyone there is very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. Also, I felt no pressure to purchase anything. While I haven’t purchased hearing aids yet, I will be doing so in the very near future. I tried some out, and they definitely helped my hearing, but I wasn’t ready to purchase them since I wasn’t sure how much I would use them. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering visiting, I would highly recommend the Hearing Aid Source Clinic. They will provide whatever help is needed.

I first realized something was up with my ears when I was only 25 years old, and I noticed I was missing a lot of conversation and hearing things incorrectly. My biggest concern was the fear that I might go deaf over time. Despite this, I had no concerns before contacting Hearing Aid Source because I had dealt with hearing clinics long before Edmond took over the business, and I knew he was fabulous at what he does.

My first impressions of the clinic were very positive; the staff was very down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and professional. I knew they were the ones I wanted to deal with for my hearing needs. Hearing aids have had a profound impact on my life; they are my lifeline. Before I admitted I had a problem, I began to withdraw socially out of fear of making a fool of myself. Without them, I cannot be social, hold a job in customer service, or ensure my safety.

To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering visiting Hearing Aid Source, I would say without a doubt to go and have your hearing tested. It will benefit you in the long run, and they will make you feel comfortable and at ease. They are the best in the business.

I first realized something was up with my ears when I wanted to make the best decision considering my apparent hearing loss without overreacting – I was worried about making a bad and expensive decision. My first impression of the clinic was very positive; the premises were meticulous and showed evidence of clear thinking. Now that I have hearing aids, I’m still getting used to them, but I feel like I’m not missing conversations as much. I only need to ask for repetitions in complex sound environments with lots of background noise. For anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would say, “Check it out. You will not be pressured to make decisions before you are comfortable.”

When I started to frequently ask my loved ones to repeat themselves, I knew it was time to book a hearing test. Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, I was concerned and wondered if I would ever regain the hearing I once had, even with the help of hearing aids. When I first interacted with them, my impressions were very positive—they were approachable and open, and we had a frank exchange.

Based on the advice of Hearing Aid Source, I haven’t started using hearing aids yet. However, I have adjusted the tuning of my audio equipment to increase the volume of the higher frequencies as suggested. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would say there’s nothing to worry about; go for it now.

I first realized something was wrong with my hearing when I was teaching at a university in the Middle East and couldn’t properly hear my students’ answers and contributions. Initially, I didn’t even know it was a hearing issue.

My first impression of the clinic was very positive when Edmund repaired my old hearing aids. I was impressed by his high-tech approach, especially since the place where I originally bought them said they were too old to be fixed, despite being just over five years old.

Since getting hearing aids, interacting with people in groups has become much easier for me. However, they haven’t completely restored my youthful hearing. I still struggle with understanding speech when it’s echo-y, when people speak too fast, mumble, or turn away. Additionally, some sounds, like certain music, can be too loud.

To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering visiting Hearing Aid Source, I would simply say, “Just go.” While I didn’t have financial concerns, I acknowledge that the cost of hearing aids can be a significant issue for some. There may be cheaper alternatives available, either through Hearing Aid Source or other providers. Nonetheless, the expert help you receive at Hearing Aid Source is incomparable and may not be available at other hearing centers.

I first realized something was up with my ears when the TV volume seemed wonky and unclear. Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, I was nervous about financing as I am a low-income senior. However, I felt quite comfortable immediately upon my first visit.

To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would suggest they explore it.

I first realized something was up with my ears while at work, trying to take minutes at a meeting, and I missed many topics that were discussed. Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, my biggest fear was the distance from my home to Toronto, which is about one and a half hours away. However, my first visit was wonderful! I dealt with Edmond and found him to be knowledgeable and extremely thorough. Since getting hearing aids, they have given me a new chance in life. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering visiting Hearing Aid Source, I would say, “Go for it! You are worth it.”

As a woman over 70 years of age, I realized something was wrong with my ears from a young age. I knew I was different; I was teased and laughed at, and no one, not even my family, came to my defence. This made me feel lonely and shy when talking with people. One of my biggest concerns was how I could get people to like me despite my hearing problems. Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, I was already using hearing aids, so I had no fears about the technology. However, I was concerned about how the audiologist would treat me.

When I first met Andre at Hearing Aid Source, I found him to be a very warm and welcoming person. I knew right away that I would be happy and comfortable working with him. Hearing aids have profoundly impacted my life, giving me the confidence in myself that I had been searching for and finally found. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would say, “You will be in good hands and receive the best advice about improving your hearing.”

I can’t pinpoint an exact moment when I realized I had a hearing challenge. It was more of an increasing frequency of asking others to repeat themselves or speak louder. My wife frequently assured me that it wasn’t others who had the problem; it was me.

Not being able to hear can lead to isolation and depression, but hearing aids have allowed me to engage with my world again. If you’re concerned about your hearing and considering a visit, remember that your hearing won’t improve unless you take some steps. There’s a ‘learning curve’ with hearing aids, so the sooner you start, the faster and easier you’ll find the experience. You might need to test drive several different models, but Hearing Aid Source will guide you along.

I had been dealing with a hearing problem for a number of years but kept ignoring it. Looking back, I wish I had taken action sooner. Now, having made the right decision, I can communicate with people again, and it truly is a blessing. I advise people with hearing loss not to wait too long before making a decision.

Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, I didn’t really know what I was getting into. However, things turned out great. Everything was explained to me, and I was happy with the thoroughness of the process. My first impression was that they treated me like a family member, answering all my questions politely and listening to my concerns.

Wearing hearing aids has had a profoundly positive impact on my life. I feel very happy to go out in crowds again, can communicate with people, and no longer feel sad and alone. It’s like I got my life back. For anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit to Hearing Aid Source, I would recommend them 100%—no regrets.

When I got an ear infection but did not receive the appropriate antibiotic, the nerve in my ear got damaged beyond repair; I was devastated.

On my first visit, I was filled with nervousness, as I feared being treated the same way as the previous company. Previously, another hearing aid company told me I’d have to purchase a new hearing aid because they couldn’t adjust the volume on my old one. However, you proved them wrong by successfully adjusting my hearing aid volume, allowing me to hear again. Since then, I have bought a new hearing aid from you guys.Wearing hearing aids now has given me more confidence because I can hear people when they speak to me.

To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I’d say, “Trust the Hearing Aid Source Clinic; they know what they are doing.”

It’s difficult for me to pinpoint a single moment when I realized something was wrong with my hearing, but rather a series of moments that made me feel self-conscious and embarrassed.

My first impression was that it was a welcoming place that guided me to understand and overcome the stigma of wearing hearing aids.

Wearing hearing aids has profoundly impacted my life, making me more confident. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would strongly recommend Hearing Aid Source and reassure them that they are among the most professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy individuals.

I first realized something was wrong with my hearing when I was sitting on a sofa about 5 feet away from someone and couldn’t understand a word they were saying. The only concern I had before contacting Hearing Aid Source was the cost. My first impressions of the clinic were very positive; I remember taking an elderly friend for adjustments and everyone was so caring and respectful.

Since getting hearing aids, my children are no longer harassing me to get them, which has made a big difference. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit to Hearing Aid Source, I have already told a friend—they are the only ones to take care of you.

I first realized something was up with my ears and that I may have a hearing challenge when I was 18. My noisy workplace caused sensorineural hearing loss, and the hair cells inside my ears died. The first signs were having to turn up the TV volume and a ringing in my ears that sounded like a string symphony. I was surprised since no one close to me had gone through this. My biggest concern was the cost of appropriate hearing aids. WSIB wouldn’t cover good ones, so I had to ask the Ontario government for funding, which was very insufficient, and the quality of the aids was poor. I didn’t have the knowledge to do a cost-benefit analysis of the harm I was doing to my hearing memory and how it stunted my learning and interactions by not having better hearing aids. If I had understood more about how not being properly aided impacted everything, I believe I would have financed hearing aids myself rather than used the cheap ones from the government. There were also no payment plans at the hearing aid places back in 1985 when I lost the first 25% of my hearing.

Before contacting the Hearing Aid Source, I didn’t think a hearing aid could filter out unwanted noises and focus on the sounds I wanted to hear; I had only ever had $500 hearing aids. As my hearing deteriorated further, my concerns grew. Hospital audiologists couldn’t provide anything more than assessments; I needed help understanding how my hearing loss progression would impact my future and what hearing aid accessories were available through the Assistive Devices Program (ADP).

My first impressions of the Hearing Aid Source were exceptionally positive. From the reception, the clinic’s ambiance was calm, welcoming, approachable, relaxed, professional, competent, thorough, and patient. I was informed about the progression of my hearing loss and how it could affect me. Edmond took the time to answer all my questions, ensuring I fully understood the information provided.

My first hearing aid, acquired at age 19 from a Collingwood clinic, was a disaster. It was government-funded, costing $500, and amplified everything without proper support or thorough education about its features. It wasn’t until 2004, after university, college, and having children, that I found the Hearing Aid Source. I learned about my hearing loss progression, ADP, and government funding of personal FM systems and digital hearing aids. However, as a stay-at-home mom, I couldn’t afford digital hearing aids until much later, after becoming a single mom and a client of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). My first digital hearing aid, acquired then, significantly improved my life with its accessory microphones and noise filters. Digital is way better than analog hearing aids, providing richer sound, better location accuracy, and overall ease. Combining my digital hearing aid with a cochlear implant in 2008 was a game changer. Having devices in both ears allowed me to keep using the phone, staying connected to people.

To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering visiting the Hearing Aid Source: The longer you go with diminished hearing, the more your world will shrink, and the lower your quality of life will become. Unclear sounds will become noise, and everything will sound like noise. Searching for the letters and words you’re missing affects your ability to follow life in real time and hampers your short-term memory as your brain tries to fill in the gaps. It’s easy to slip away from life when your hearing lessens, but the challenge is to do the hard work of getting assessed and beginning the journey that will keep you involved and engaged. On average, people wait 12 years to address their diminished hearing—12 painful, unnecessary years. Don’t wait. There are ways to finance the cost of hearing supports over time, and there are tools, strategies, and people who can support your hearing journey. You are worth the effort it takes to hear well. You matter, connecting with you matters, and you deserve to belong, be engaged, and participate in a full life. Don’t wait to hear better. Do it now!

I first realized I had a hearing problem during a family dinner when I knew a discussion was taking place but wasn’t sure what it was about, leaving me feeling a little lost. I chose Hearing Aid Source because I had brought my mother to the clinic years ago, and she was very happy with the experience.

My first impression was that the staff were very personable and treated my concerns as important. Although my hearing problem was light, it was taken care of immediately, and I’m sure it would have gotten worse over time if I hadn’t dealt with it early. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering visiting, I would say, “Don’t wait. Go to the Hearing Aid Source Clinic immediately and seek help.”

For years, I thought people were mumbling. Despite having no real concerns, I reached out for help. My first impression of Hearing Aid Source was how beautifully designed the premises are. Since getting hearing aids, they have significantly impacted my life—people aren’t mumbling anymore! 😊 If you’re concerned about your hearing and thinking about visiting, I would say that you should go; nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I was in my early seventies when I first realized I had a hearing problem. Hearing Aid Source diagnosed that I had lost 50% of my hearing, so I purchased a pair of hearing aids. Now that I am in my eighties, I use them every day.

Everyone was very friendly, professional, and helpful. After getting two sets of hearing aids, I even recommended them to my wife.

Since then, I’ve been living a normal life, able to have conversations without asking others to repeat themselves. To anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit to Hearing Aid Source, I can say they are very reliable.

I first realized something was wrong with my hearing at 50 years old. As a professional musician, I had trouble mixing sound and also experienced tinnitus, but my pride kept me from wanting hearing aids. I went on like that for a few years until my hearing loss became more pronounced, prompting me to finally seek help. Before contacting Hearing Aid Source, I had many concerns: how would the hearing aids look and fit, and would people notice them?

My first impressions of the clinic were of complete comfort and confidence in Andre and Edmund; they were very knowledgeable and competent. Now that I wear hearing aids, the impact on my life has been like night and day. Even with my moderate loss in both ears, my first reaction with the trial aids was “Wow,” as I heard sounds I never knew I was missing.

For anyone concerned about their hearing and considering visiting Hearing Aid Source, I would say, go see Edmund or Andre. Stop waiting and just do it—it will be worth your while.

Years ago, I found myself constantly asking family and friends to repeat what they said because I couldn’t hear them clearly. This realization led me to seek professional help. Initially, I was scared about having a hearing aid, worried about what my friends and peers would say and fearing jokes about getting old. I thought it would be very visible, but fortunately, it’s so discreet that nobody notices I use hearing aids except my immediate family.

My first impressions of Hearing Aid Source were great. A friend recommended them because of their reputation, and I am so glad I did. They made the entire process so easy, comfortable, and professional from start to finish.

I first realized I had a hearing challenge about 30 to 40 years ago, and my biggest concern was the impact it would have on my daily life, communication, and overall well-being.

My first impressions of the clinic were very positive; everyone was friendly, professional, and caring.

Now that I wear hearing aids, I find conversations with family and friends easier and clearer, I can participate more in social activities and events, which reduces my feelings of isolation.
